A Texas grower plans to close its nursery near Cornelius and lay off the 100 people working there.
The Berry Family of Nurseries announced the shutdown Monday in a mandatory letter to Oregon state officials. The closing and job cuts will occur "on or about" Sept. 30, according to the letter.
Chief executive Randy Roush has not returned a message regarding the layoffs left by The Oregonian at the company's Irving, Texas, headquarters. It isn't clear whether any of the nursery's other branches — in Oklahoma, Michigan, Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida — are affected.
